Senior Writer Michael Demarest, author of the cover story, developed an affinity for animals on his father's farm in Essex, England, and has since owned a Dalmatian, a fox terrier, three bassets, one Great Pyrenees and a pride of kittens. Modern Living Reporter-Researcher Audrey Ball shares an unlikely menagerie with her daughter Tracy, 8: their tabby, Leslie, five delicious goldfish and two tantalizing white mice. Other pet owners include Managing Editor Henry Grunwald, whose wire-haired terrier Bravo resembles Asta in the Thin Man movies of the '30s; Assistant Managing Editor Richard Seamon, who is putting...

Ronstadt's Heart Like a Wheel album sold over 150,000 units for Capitol Records in its first month of release. Muldaur's first solo album on Reprise sold 750,000 copies...
...dimmed and tardy delegates hurried to their seats at the opening of the convention, four native Kansas City soldiers in full uniform carried the American flag to the podium while the Kansas City Philharmonic, stuffed in among the press corps, sounded drum rolls and bugle calls. A feeling of pride in the Democratic Party and eager anticipation filled the air--a feeling that the mumbled pledge of allegiance and the off-key singing of the national anthem could not dissipate.
